Join Us as We Celebrate 25 Years of Community and Generosity at heathens homecoming 2025!
Join us for a milestone year at the 2025 HeAthens Homecoming Cookout and Auction, where every dollar you give will go twice as far!
Whether you’re able to attend any of the festivities or not, an anonymous HeAthens family member has generously pledged to match every dollar raised for this year’s Homecoming—up to $50,000—in honor of 25 years of Nuçi’s Space and 25 years of Drive-By Truckers Homecoming!
“We have always supported Nuçi’s mission, but attending HeAthens Homecoming provides insights into just how many ways Nuçi’s is critical to our community. It is amazing that both Nuçi’s and Drive-By Truckers Homecoming started the same year [2000], 25 years ago. Every year, we are inspired by how many HeAthens contribute their time, art, and money to the fundraising effort, all while having fun hanging out together.
In honor of 25 years of Nuçi’s and Homecoming, we will match every dollar raised at this year’s HeAthens Homecoming up to $50,000. Whether you are donating for the DBT video, buying a cupcake, or bidding on an amazing auction item, every dollar you contribute will be doubled.
The outreach of Nuçi’s, the music of the Drive-By Truckers, and the community of HeAthens has made our lives and so many others’ lives better and has literally saved lives. We look forward to the next 25 years of Nuçi’s, Drive-By Truckers, and the HeAthens!”

A special thank-you to Three Dimes Down for organizing this event and supporting Nuçi’s Space!
Let’s make this year’s anniversary celebrations unforgettable—together.
HeAthens Homecoming is an annual gathering of the Drive-By Truckers fan club (it’s an informal club and all are welcome!), Three Dimes Down, commencing around the band’s multi-nightstand at the 40 Watt in Athens every winter. Fans from all over the world come to Athens to celebrate their love of the music of the Truckers and to renew friendships that have been formed throughout the years. Over time the fans decided to include a service project as part of their gathering and chose Nuçi’s Space as their adopted cause because our mission speaks to so many in the community.
The weekend culminates this year on Saturday, February 15th with an open house, cookout, and silent auction at Nuçi’s Space. This is event is free to attend and open to the public. Folks donate artwork, handmade jewelry, music memorabilia and other various talents as the band and community come together to celebrate another year.
To date, Drive-By Truckers and the Three Dimes Down fan community together have raised more than $275,000 to support the vision and mission of Nuçi’s Space. Thank you!
